FRENCHY BROUILLETTE has been the reigning Mr. New Orleans for over fifty years. With a record that includes over three dozen felony arrests, multiple gunshot and stab wounds, and a 1,600-page FBI file, Frenchy is the most notorious Cajun gangster in the history of Louisiana and certainly one of the most colorful figures in the history of the Mob.
